APPRovED-A LETTER TO DIR. MaLYNN
THREATENING ExCoxMUNIcAIIoN II
HE DOES NOT GO TO ROME

history OF the case OF Dr. Mctilynn yesterday. 10
Is In the form Of letter from Pope Leo himself to
| Archbishop Corrigan, which is given herewith
In this letter the Pope makes clear certain points
that have been the subject of doubt with many
for some time. In the first place, he expresses tho
highest approval Of the manner in which the Arch
bishop has acted toward the suspended priest,
whose case, the Pope declares has been thoroughly
examined from the beginning. The doctrines In
regard TO the rights OF property, it appears, have
also been passed upon by the Holy See since they
are spoken OF as false and vicious. Great regret
Is expressed over the course Of Or. Clrran, DIR.
Burtsen and other Clergymen of the diocese, who
have become imbued with the doctrines Of "this
priest" tDr. McGlynn) and "have not hesitated To
adhere to him. in spite Of the fact that the
better part Of the laity' remains faithful to tho
Archbishop. That the action of these gentlemen
Will not escape censure seems highly probable
from the Pope's statement that he will not fail
to make known through the Propaganda timely
measures for the correction of the rebcllIous."
But neither their fate. nor even that of DIR.
McGlynn, is entirely sealed. There is hope for all
who have been deceived by this new doctrine of
land ownership, "if they return to wiser counses"
which the Archbishop is urged to get them to do
with all charity aud paternal benevolence.
The following is the letter in full:

devised and the open conspiracy OF factous men.

Information lately conveyed to have learned that
there others OF the clergy mbued with the doc
rnes OF this priest who have not hesated TO adhere TO
him. although the clergy generally Of the whole diocese
and the greater and better part of the aIty gladly
maned with unchanged will in faithful obedience and
loyalty to you.
indeed grateful to and approved by that you
have abored to crush, they sprang the vicious
seeds Of doctrines scattered under pretext Of helping tho
Nor less to your praise that with lOngsu
ering and patience have not ceased with watchfu In
dustry calm proud and restless spirits although they
have refraned from sanders and reproaches against
you and this Apostolic See.

with unwavering rmness apply all your strength TO the
OF the salvation Of souls and In defending the snc
tty of faith and discipline. Nevertheless led by Chris
tian charity you will leave nothing untred that with
paternal benevolence you may embrace those who
